Revainrating 5 out of 5

May not work for SATA m.2.

A friend ended up with a small Dell desktop with an AMD fx 8800p processor. The system had integrated graphics but was running an AMD Radeon R7 or R9 360 GPU and I thought the 2TB drive was outdated. I wanted to put this to good use, so my nephews got a refurbished and upgraded Dell. I replaced the 2TB with a newer 1TB HDD for more reliability and wanted to use the SSD as the primary drive, but ran into a problem. just a sata cable and connector and it was for the floppy drive. I decided to save the drive for them as they still watch movies on media and bought this adapter and a 256GB Silicon Power NVMe SSD. Device and drive worked perfectly. The reason I say it doesn't accept SATA m.2 is because I've either read somewhere that it doesn't, or I've tried the one I have before using it for another in Hard drive SATA 2.5 converted. after removing this drive from another computer after upgrading to XPG 500GB nvme m.2 drive. I might be wrong. However, if you use SSD, you still need NVME. Chances are the drive will outlive the old heap you're updating with it, and eventually you'll want to use the drive on another system anyway.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • New competitors emerged
